I'm not sure if it would turn black in a low fire kiln- I'll send you some other photos of a bowl I threw w/ it (and glazed). I did around 15-20 test tiles (mostly for the other Art Swap bowl), the manganese content wreaks havoc on lots of glazes I've tried. I should still have quite a bit left during Oasis- if you remind me I'll cut off a few lbs and bring you a sample to take home.

Hanging accoutrements for the trophy skull mug ~ tooth & claw. Hair & feather coming soon _________________May we all get to have a chance to ride the fast one
Walk away wiser when we crashed one
Keep hoping that the best one is the last one

The skull is drying well, could be ready to fire by Monday _________________May we all get to have a chance to ride the fast one
